Hi All,
We are going to have a short meeting on #fedora-g11n in 15min. Agenda is
only T-shirt for contributors who contributed over 500 words in 2016. [1]
We are almost in last stage of it, if anyone available feel free to jump
in.
Apologies for short notice,
Thanks,

Greetings!
During Friday's FESCo meeting[0] we were asked to approve a change to
the release schedule to accommodate translation string freeze deadlines
that somehow got left out of the new "no-alphas" schedule.
Several participants pointed out that Fedora has not enforced the
"string freeze" in many years, despite it being on the schedule until
now. Thus, we would like to revisit the string freeze policy to
determine if it is still valuable, and if so, how can/should it be enforced?
We'd like to explore a couple of questions:
* What exact things are frozen? Things like comps make sense to follow
Fedora freezes, but do things like anaconda? or system-config-printer?
* Can we automate some way of enforcing or at least detecting when
something changes a string in the freeze?
This ticket tracks the issue:

Hi everyone,
My name is Takuro Nagamoto. I am a Japanese translator at Red Hat, based in Brisbane, Australia.
I just wanted to let you know that I took over a coordinator role for Fedora Japanese translation from Noriko, who left Red Hat in January (greatly missed).
Hope to contribute to the Fedora Japanese translation team as a coordinator/translator/reviewer (I already have those privileges granted on zanata).
Regards,
Takuro Nagamoto

Hello,
I need some help with Fedora documentation. I have uploaded on GitHub
the german .po-files for the Flatpak documentation sitting here:
http://flatpak.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
German translation:
https://github.com/SemanticDesign/flatpak-docs/tree/master/po/de/LC_MES
SAGES
First of all: Is there interest in this one? If yes:
What is it that I have to do now in this special case? There is need
for a review of course. I could imagine some revisions eventually, but
it is something you can work with ... ^^
Somebody who is willing to do a review on this? Or maybe give me an
helping hand to find the needed information to optimize the
translation? And do all this here the Fedora-way? I have read the l10n-
guide, but i am lost now a little bit.
I apologize for the missing introduction of my person, but I have lost
my poetry album for today. I will write some words in the following
days ....

Hi Translators,
during discussion on the FLOCK it has been realized we have some issue
with Software String Freeze milestone. The issue is caused mostly by
changing some key milestones as a consequence of "No More Alphas"
Change [1].
In the past the Software String Freeze milestone was tight together
with Alpha Freeze. After we implemented the "No More Alphas" Change
[1] and we moved Branching closer to Beta Freeze, we are now in the
situation when we need to come up with some conclusion how to plan the
Software String Freeze milestone. AFAIK there are two requirements
this milestone should fulfil:
* The milestone needs to be planned after Branching
* There should be enough time for translators to do the job before
Software Translation Deadline (which is currently planned two weeks
before Beta Freeze)
Having the Branching 3 weeks before Beta Freeze does not give enough
room for translations (comparing to the state before implementation of
"No More Alphas" Change [1]). What I see as a possibility now is to
have the Software String Freeze milestone one week after Branching and
move Software Translation Deadline to the same date as Beta Freeze.
This gives us the maximum time period between the "Software String
Freeze" and "Translation deadline" we can currently have (even it is
just two weeks).
What do you think ? Will such a timing works for these two milestones
( Software String Freeze & Software Translation Deadline ) ? Or anyone
have a better proposal ?

Thanks for any feedback,

Hi
I have received an translation task, where we creating an expression
dictionary, but for pronouncing I need to create a transscription of the
words. The issue is that I have the pronounciation pairs, but for easier
transscribe would be an amazing help if I could feed into an program that
does this for me.
Any idea what kind of app can do this?
Thanks,
Zoltan
